Respectfully, I'm not sure that LSEMS needs extra responsibilities like this. If you want people to do the job, you gotta fix some things with it but we could say that about a bunch of jobs. Decay Pay - Fresher the body, bigger the pay. Perhaps a vehicle with a little more speed. (working on that myself) A location in LS too, for more convenience. Server spawned corpses, based on the amount of coroners online so there is always work for them to do. Do them things? Job has a shot.

Damn, should have asked Paulius for a percentage. As for private tables, na, they shouldn't add them back, just never should have added them in the first place.

I really should have known better than to think we could have a decent discussion about this lmao Enjoy getting flashbanged because your Post FX is too high in the sunlight and not being able to see anything on Senora Freeway.

If they wanna be increasing the cap to 10k an hour, I'll repair my own vehicle Timmy, say less

This guy lmao. Because after five rounds of it now, enough people get bored of it by mid-December to where by Christmas time, people are over the snow. It's not something people can opt out of and in some cases like @Ritchie Stones said it does cause discomfort to people and I think in certain circumstances it makes the visibility quite difficult particularly in the city. I feel that having it be new and fresh in the two weeks prior to Christmas would have more of a positive impact than for the entire 4-5 weeks. Lets be clear, I like the snow and I'm Mr. Make Things Look Different, but less is more with this. That said, Osborn already posted and wasn't supportive of it so the thread is somewhat moot at this point. Just an excuse for people to meme around I guess, hope you got your sunglasses.

I'm all for the PD not taking the piss when it comes to getting people into prison to begin their time, I wouldn't wanna be left waiting around for no reason and it's something that if I were witness to, I'd actively move that situation along. That being said, not every situation like this is that. It has happened before in isolated incidents but the problem sometimes is people take scenarios like the one you talked about and start assuming that a) there was something amiss there and b) that this is the experience every one has. I wasn't at your situation, but others that were spoke to your situation. That said, I don't see an issue OOC with adding something to shorten a person's sentence by a certain amount of time IF the pre-arrest goes over a certain amount of time through no fault of your own. Say if a cop is code zeroing and you have to wait like 10-15 minutes, that's not on you so that could be deducted. Same thing with an admin situation and things like that. In terms of actual legit RP though, it's all a part of it. The problem is though, we sort of have our hands tied in terms of charges and things. We don't give people more charges, we give them all the charges they should have. If they don't get that experience elsewhere though, its going to look out of place. Can someone get my man a towel, he's dribbling on his keyboard.

If you're not complaining about something, then why bother including it in the post? Because that first couple sentences paints, I assume PD, in a bad light. How dare they have spikes deployed? They actually rammed my vehicle until it caught fire! The flip side of us doing these things to stop you is that you didn't pay attention to any of it. You did not stop driving your vehicle until we literally had to damage it so much it wouldn't function anymore. If you don't care about your car, why are we going to? You make these generalizing, bait statements in your post about how we want to screw you around and we don't want to drive you to DOC. You have absolutely no idea the motivation behind why we are doing things whatsoever. I know it's a foreign concept on a role-play server, but have you considered that people might actually have more to do during those scenarios than just an arrest? Have you considered that perhaps we have another faction that likes to do the transport role-play that we can call on to take you? No, of course not. Because it doesn't support the biased rhetoric you're trying to push. Do you think that a fun and enjoyable roleplay experience for PD was considered when we're made to write mandatory arrest reports or engage in the sketchy legal roleplay to support the Judicial Branch? Fuck no. We just had to get on with it and make the best of it. The irony is, part of the reason why you get exactly the charges you have committed with no deviation is that we can't do it anymore because of that same implementation, we have to go by the book, every single time. Not every roleplay experience you have on this server is or has to be, positive for your character. If you see having actual consequences for your actions, DOC not offering you opportunities to roleplay and giving you the charges for the crimes you have committed as charge stacking then you seriously need to look at yourself.

Hello mate, while this is something that I'd like to add if it were available, I am unaware of any resource for it on the internet so it's unlikely that we will be able to add one at this time. That said if things change we could possibly revisit in the future.

I realize we're not even halfway into October but at the speed things take to get discussed and decided, I'm probably timing this about right. The discussion is about the Snow Weather that appears as a sort of yearly tradition in Eclipse. Some people love it, some people loathe it. Some people think it lasts too long, some think it doesn't last long enough. I personally like it, I think it makes a chance for things to look that different and given we've finally had a clothing update, those winter uniforms can come out to play which is great for those that have them. That being said, I'm of the opinion when it comes to the snow that the entire month and a little bit extra that we usually have the snow for, is perhaps a little bit too much and it would be perhaps more universally well received if we had it for a shorter period this year. What I propose is that instead say from the first week of December to the first week of January, we turn the snow on from the 14th of December (Monday) until the 4th of January (Monday). That gives us three weeks of the snow with the majority of it concentrated in the two weeks leading up to Christmas and the week after Christmas.

The point of it being at the top is that you see which direction are going while heading that way. If it's at the bottom, you're looking down the bottom of your screen so you don't see as much what is ahead of you. @Dakota14 If you are concerned about visibility while in a helicopter, switch the beige desert hue for a grey metropolitan one. It would be easier on your eyeballs as everything looks better in the city, Baron.

Finally a non-PD related suggestion! While I think that the premise of resizing the glove-box to fit the vehicle type, I think you do run the danger with these kinds of things where you make certain vehicles less useless which in turn, creates more 'meta' and less variety. Lord knows we already have a lot of that. That being said, I think alternatively if we added purchaseable vehicle storage options from LSC, Bayview and Bennys then it's something for people to invest in. Because some times it's not an issue of weight, it's an issue of spaces. Perhaps based on the vehicle class, the vehicles would have x amount of slots and weight but if you went to a mechanic shop, you could extend your storage if you paid money. While I can take peoples points about the rifles and pumps being a little yucky, it's not the end of the world.

Lemme buy one before we change it lmao.

I get on duty have armor and immediately go to a situation. Upon arriving, within 30 seconds, I get shot and killed, respawning at Pillbox. I go to get armor to continue patrolling, can't. I crash, come back from a code 0 and put my armor back on. I take minor armor depleting damage from a situation I RP getting my spare vest out of the vehicle. I can't put a fresh load of armor on. These are just two scenarios where there is a down side, the key with finding downsides is actually to look for them. Your scenario is incredibly vague as well. Did all the cops replenish their armor or only 1-2? Your post made it seem like everyone went to the armor store mid-fight. Was it during an active shootout? How do you know they replenished their armor? To limit every single person this way? Fuck that.

Just as long as it isnt that damn wheel mini-game lmao.

I'm not sure I'm someone you want to start comparing sizes with, to be honest with you. That's before we get into all the faction clothes, the lab locations and all the other shit but yeah, please tell me about how I know nothing about crim, lmao. I might never have shot up City Hall a bunch of times and tried to kidnap the Governor but I've played my fair share of criminal characters and I know it's been a minute since you were a cop, but what do we do all day? Deal with criminals, is that not experience? Great, you've got yourself a life outside of this, that must be nice. But if you got a life, then you ain't playing for the full 24 hours are you? Most players probably play the same amount as they would watch a movie or sport game for, 2-3 hours. I'm sure it is inconvenient for people but that is the point. 48 hours was too long, we reduced it to 24. As for Crim and LEO being two different games, now you're finally getting it. They are different, with different objectives, motives and actions. Balance isn't about convenience, it's about positives and negatives being comparable to each other. That's my two cents, you can keep the change.

It doesn't really solve anything because at the point your logic falls apart when there are two different types of Police Scout (soon to be 3) and two different types of Buffalo STX people can use. That said, if people really want to see this addressed in some way, just charge the faction treasury for the amount of repair needed. We're not going to go bankrupt and it's all Lewis' spawned pocket money but still.

It would be more useful if it was designed for non-moving targets as well, like you are chasing someone on foot and if you hit the tackle, you could take them down or perhaps they shrug it off. That's how we did it in SA:MP, if a person was x distance in front of you and you hit that finishing move, you got tackled. Then we added fitness levels to it, so those people in shape had a better chance of tackling those people not for example. Right now, the person has to be stood basically still and you can just do it with constant success, over and over. I wouldn't hold your breath on it being updated.

Fuck me, do people want any consequences for doing any illegal stuff and getting caught doing it, lmao. 24 hours is short enough for the player and long enough for the cops, leave it alone.

There have been some out there suggestions on the forums, but this is arguably one of the worst. Why don't we just reset the economy while we're at it

Because we do not own our vehicles, they are job vehicles. Would you want a bus driver not to be able to spawn a bus because he's damaged it and need a mechanic? No. Would you want a postal worker to not be able to spawn a boxville? No. Functionally, they are the same. No disrespect intended for the mechanic factions when I say this but if we start bringing mechanics away from mechanic shops to come fix vehicles, what do you think the knock on effect of that will be? Who is going to suffer because of that? We don't have enough people to make something like that work. I mostly use a Dominator FX buddy. Because I like that it looks like a disco inside it when it's night time, so don't assume. I encourage people to use what vehicles they want, as long as it keeps within the server rules. Doesn't matter what section of the community they're playing on. We'll put in some more meta police vehicles, just for you, so you don't get bored with just seeing the STX and Scout.

No it didn't, it forces you to interact with other people which is the entire point of a multiplayer roleplay server. It was a great method of making money because there was next to no chance you'd get caught slipping.

Not sure making it less convenient for cops to do their jobs gets us anywhere closer to where we want to be, if I'm honest but then I'm clearly biased. Doesn't match the server we play on either, everything here is about convenience and the next thing so it doesn't really work.

I'll be honest with you, the real problem here is that what you are describing is not a problem to be solved, it's a natural evolution of the PD faction adjusting to the environment it and you operate in. If you've ever heard the term 'product of environment' this is what it is. There has been no orders or decision made to be more aggressive, just simply as things have escalated, the LSPD isn't going to be any faction's bitch. While we won't do anything to win a situation, we're not trying to lose on purpose either. I realize that for you and these "other criminals", that is going to be a point of contention and frustration but this is the way it is. You can say that you don't want criminals and law enforcement to argue and to come together and explore ways of fixing this. I don't agree with your opinion and so now I'm arguing with you. I'm not sure what era of Eclipse you've joined in, but when was the immersion amazing? Was it when everyone runs around masked up, talking into their walkie talkies? Maybe it's when everyone rides BF-400s up mountain sides, after a bank robbery? Maybe when cop killers and hardened criminals are asking for badge numbers, so they can file internal affairs reports? Maybe when criminals are jamming up law enforcement frequencies? Maybe it's when you have a faction attacking the Governor on multiple occasions at City Hall, Mr. Shadow? Maybe it's when we're defacing the interiors of Government Buildings with Graffiti? Maybe it's current personal favorite, when we're driving 240 in broken credit vehicles with a speaker upgrade? Maybe it's when people full on sprint while they are cuffed? Maybe it's when people blatantly ignore the effects of being tased multiple times and continue running? Can you or one of the "other criminals" tell me what sort of Police Department they would like, in a server where all that goes on? Now the difference between someone like me and someone like you is that I've accepted that those are the behaviors of most criminals on this server, those behaviors aren't really going to change and that for my own personal enjoyment, I just focus on treating people as their reactions call for and try to have entertaining interactions with people. If you are respectful and compliant, even as a criminal, you get treated with respect and favorably. If you raise up trying to fight or want to start talking that shit, then you'll going to get beat on or you're going to get the verbal exchange back. Our job is to maintain control, so there is a certain power play element there. Your job is to try and take control from us. We do not stack charges, we give people the charges for the crimes they have committed. There is no longer any leeway for us to give less charges, the unnaturally violent insertion of the Judicial Branch has seen to that, so you gotta get what you are guilty of. Perhaps if you and your "other criminals" weren't like criminal lemmings and actually put some thought into doing things the smart way, rather than the meta way, you wouldn't end up on the business end of an LSPD boot? I dunno, maybe you still would? I stand behind all my faction members, as long as they areoperating within the server's and our faction rules'. We're the best faction on this server, we have been since day one and it's not even close. ILY. ❤

If you don't want me to interact with you as much, I can get rid of your alias but im more likely to interact with someone if I know that I have had a prior interaction. Alias system is something that does not need amending, removing, upgrading or anything doing to it at all. Leave it alone, for the love of all that is holy.

It's easy to lost in the sauce but the simple reason that new player retention sucks is because the playing experience on the server if you are not someone involved in something established, just sort of sucks. We continue to exist, at the level we do, because we have a serious amount of credit in the bank from people that have been here for multiple years and frankly, there has never been a serious competitor on RAGE-MP, for an English Speaking RP server. It's unlikely that anyone is going to sink enough development time into a server now, with GTA 6 fast approaching and barring a catastrophic decision which alienates a significant portion of the current player base, Eclipse will go the full distance, but it'll limp towards the finishing line. Coming into the server in February 2019, the server got a hell of a lot of things right. It's script systems and overall direction were simple and easy to follow. The rules were not restrictive or confusing and while there was a learning curve for new people, it was quite small. The community was very much a shark tank but it felt less segregated. That was the server five and a half years ago, now that is actually a really long time for RP servers and it's to NBDY / Osvaldon and the staff teams credit that we've got all that and more out of this, but these days, the direction feels like throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. I couldn't tell you what Eclipse is supposed to be now, ask 10 different people, get 10 different answers. How would you describe ECRP to a person that has never played here? In that five and a half years, there was a FiveM boom and while the platforms are different, even the most basic plug and play RP servers on FiveM, have a number of dynamic activities like jobs that are aimed at people trying to make money (which on ECRP, for the most part is the new players.) The economy is an established person's problem, not a new player's. Your new player is going around, figuring shit out and making enough money to get a gun or a car or clothes to wear or whatever, so they are doing the menial jobs like trash, mining, hunting, roadworker etc.. Can you honestly say hand on heart that those jobs are engaging, as a solo player? There is no reward for persistence in those jobs, every instance of most of the jobs is the same, there is limited need for player-to-player interaction, there is no RNG elements or any RPG elements. There is also no integration for doing these jobs as a small group. Even the most basic FiveM servers have support for that. @Thang did an incredible new job that is something completely different to what we have and it's nowhere to be found. Is there really a proper hangout for new players to get to know people on the server? You can give out all the free GPS' and not suspend a new player's license all you want, but ultimately, as a new player you have little to no emotional attachment or loyalty to this server, so if you don't enjoy it, why would you stay? I don't even know why I've written this, because there is almost no chance that anything positive comes from it. I'm more likely to get reamed out for saying that the playing experience sucks, yet I've done everything I possibly can to try and drag the server into 2024 and I've got more ideas for how we could improve it than i know what to do with. Like more and more of us, I'm here for the people that i've spent the last 5-6 years with more than anything, it'd be nice to be able to move the needle though.
